You note the 36 month full-replacement, then completely ignore the 120
month additional pro-rated warranty. I don't know of any other company
that offers anything comparable. If I purchase the battery and place
it in service, and it fails for a manufacturing defect by 2010, yes --
I do expect a brand new battery, and Rolls Surrette has a stellar
reputation.
But, it means nothing, no matter if it were 50 years. Batteries SULPHATE
and wear out and that is SPECIFICALLY NOT COVERED on Rolls' warranty
page. They are NOT waranteeing it to charge to any level for even 3
years. The warranty ONLY covers "manufacturing defects", absolving them
of any responsibility caused by use and chemistry.
If they choose not to hold to this warranty to make a customer happy,
that's just fine....but, they are NOT responsible if they hold to the
warranty definitions.
Rolls has some fantastic information on this website, other than sales
hype and warranty info. Click on SITE MAP then look for "Bulletins".
Click Bulletins and a whole wonderful, very realistic and correct set of
bulletins every boater should read, especially those contemplating those
Gelcells or AGM "sealed" batteries! Rolls' procedures and information on
Equalization...that DOESN'T require, by the way, purchasing some $3000
supercharger to accomplish...is first class. Their information on plate
sulphation and its cure only lacks information about unrecoverable
sulphate that has fallen off the plates in solid form, to make it
perfect. These "bulletins" are great information, but a little hard to
read as the whole website runs on java scripts over a goofy background
the scripts here show as transparent on a big LCD monitor.
You can't download the javascript based bulletins, but it will let you
copy/paste the text to Notepad for printing and storage for future
reference.
